Abstract: A network-based just-in-time (JIT) material shortage and supply information exchange system and method is proposed, which is intended for use in the supply chain management for a supplier and a manufacturer to allow the supplier and the manufacturer to exchange information about the manufacturer's current condition of material shortage and the supplier's capability to supply material for the shortage in a real-time online manner over a network system, such as the Internet. The proposed system and method of the invention is characterized by the use of an Internet-linked server to provide online information about the manufacturer's current condition of material shortage and relevant data to the supplier as well as the information about the supplier's current inventory stock of material and relevant data, such as percentage of reserved amount of supply, to the manufacturer.

Abstract: An online accounting management system and an online accounting management method are provided. In operation, a manufacturer inputs data of products delivered from a material supplier in a day to an accounting management module where the product delivery data are processed to form report data and stored in a database. On the next day, the material supplier can retrieve the report data via a network to thereby make an invoice according to the report data. Real-time provision of the report data allows easy accounting management and needs only one invoice incorporated with all product delivery data per day, thereby reducing costs of human resources and materials.

Abstract: A method and a system for managing online product delivery are provided. In operation, an order database for storing order data and a user database for storing data of delivery end users are established. So, a user at the purchase end only needs to input the new quantity of products to be delivered if the quantity of the order is to be modified. Once the buyer inputs a desirable quantity of products to be purchased into the system for managing product delivery, a quantity counting module would count the quantity of the current stock, maximum stocks, and product ordered by buyers, so as to display the maximum and minimum quantities of products available for delivery on a web page of the system for managing product delivery. Therefore, users at the delivery end are updated with the order details and the stocks of the buyers through a network system and a browser, to thereby make appropriate product delivery.

Abstract: A system and a method for processing online purchase are provided, wherein purchase processing stations of a buyer and a seller are respectively linked to the purchase processing system via a network. A user database is established in the purchase processing system for storing user data and identification codes corresponding to the user data, and an order database is provided for storing order data. The purchase processing system verifies access rights of a user according to an identification code input by the user, and obtains order data from the order database requested by the user, allowing the obtained order data to be displayed on a purchase processing station of the user. Then, the purchase processing system processes orders according to the user's instruction, wherein the processed orders are marked with specific labels and stored in the order database.

Abstract: A system and a method for inquiring remaining quantity of orders are provided. First, an order database for storing order data and a user database for storing users' data are established. Then, the system periodically searches and calculates quantity data of unprocessed orders and orders with undelivered products from the order database. Moreover, an identity recognizing module determines and retrieves access rights of a user from the user database according to an identification code inputted by the user. Further, the user with the access rights inputs inquiry conditions for remaining order data, and an order inquiry module retrieves remaining order data from the order database as inquired by the user. Finally, the retrieved remaining order data are displayed on a web page and browsed by the user.

Abstract: A system and a method for online and real-time editing and forwarding manifests are proposed in which at least a product flow processing workstation, an order database and a database server are provided, for allowing an authorized user to edit and forward a manifest in an online and real-time manner via Internet. The product flow processing workstation is adapted to establish and store detailed data relevant to product orders in the order database. When the user is linked to the product flow processing workstation, the user can edit the manifest according to practical conditions of product manufacture and demand, and forward the edited manifest via Internet to a buyer who makes a product order in association with the manifest. This facilitates the ease of data inquiry and reduction in repetition of data input from users of the buyer and supplier.

Abstract: A system and method is proposed for exchanging SOI (Supply Own Inventory) related information between a manufacturer and a supplier, allowing both the manufacturer and the supplier to learn all SOI-related information, including the supplier's extra amount of material stocked at the manufacturer's site, the amount of material taken by the manufacturer to supply its own inventory, and the amount of the supplier's assured resupply to the manufacturer's inventory stock during a specific future period, etc., so as to allow both the supplier and the manufacturer to perform related management tasks more efficiently. The proposed system and method is characterized by the use of a server to serve up an online inventory management system including an SOI-status inquiry Web page and an SOI-status display Web page, which can be accessed via a network system, such as extranet or Internet, by both the manufacturer and the supplier.

Abstract: A network-based productivity forecast and responding system and method is proposed, which is intended for use by a supplier and a manufacturer to exchange demand-and supply transaction information in a real-time online manner over a network system. The proposed system and method is characterized by the use of a server to serve up a productivity-forecast inquiry Web page and a productivity-forecast responding Web page, whereby the manufacturer can utilize the productivity-forecast inquiry Web page to post the manufacturer's demanded amount of material per day during a future period, allowing the supplier to acquire these data by linking via the network system to the productivity-forecast inquiry Web page and respond by using the productivity-forecast responding Web page. This allows the supplier to prepare well in advance to prevent oversupply or undersupply, and also allows the manufacturer to carry out purchase management more efficiently.

Abstract: A supplier data transfer system and method aims at resolving the problem of not able to not transfer data timely in a configure-to-order fashion by Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Through a platform provided by an information intermediary, data formats are transferred during data file transfer processes and data formats are formed in a configure-to-order fashion, thereby may reduce transfer delay time and enhance data format compatibility.
